IT Compliance Automation for Continuous Compliance

Compared to the less connected past, organizations today face a tough time in handling and managing business activities. Though advancements in technology have helped to make business processes faster, smoother and easier, it has increased security risks at astonishing levels. This has forced governments to enact various regulations and the companies to comply with these regulations and policies. Let' look at some of these regulations and how companies can achieve continuous compliance easily and effortlessly.

HIPAA The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted to protect the health insurance coverage of employees when they lose or change their jobs. With the growing number of incidents of fraud and abuse within the healthcare system, this act stressed the importance of protecting the integrity and confidentiality of personal health information of employees and workers.

FISMA The Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) was enacted to protect government information, operations and assets against all kinds of threats. This law emphasized that attaining information security translates into economic and national security.

PCI DSS The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) was enacted to prevent the misuse of credit card data. All organizations that store, process and transmit credit card information must comply with the comprehensive set of requirements provided in this act.

SOX The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) requires all public company boards, management and public accounting firms to comply with its set of standards to make them accountable for their actions. In the wake of major corporate and accounting scandals, federal government decided to come out strong against low standards and false profits and thereby protect investors' money and improve their confidence.

GLBA The Gramm Leach Bliley Act (GLBA) requires all financial institutions to design, implement and maintain effective measures to protect the personal financial information of their customers. This act applies not only to those financial institutions that collect information from their customers but also to those institutions that collect details from other financial institutions.

ISO 27001 The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 27001 is an Information Security Management System (ISMS) standard detailing requirements for the establishment, implementation, monitoring and review, maintenance and improvement of a management system for managing an organization's information security risks.

These are just a couple of regulations that companies need to comply with. Like these, each country has their own set of rules and regulations that all companies that intend to expand their business activities in other countries must adhere to. Hence, companies must invest in IT compliance automation solution that can guarantee security through continuous compliance with various regulations and acts.
